Six on the Sixth

Okay, so today is the seventh - but yesterday was the sixth and it was Jilly's Golden sixth birthday. Really - she's six?!?!? That means Jax will be seven in just 10 more days. Ahhhh...where is they time going. Seriously - February FLEW by this year. I blinked and it was over.

Back to Jilly - she had a beef stick. She loved it. Jax got one too and he loved it. They were lovin' the beef sticks and I am lovin' that the beef sticks were on sale. Maybe for Jax's birthday, I will dye them green for St. Patty's Day. Wait, who I am kidding? I will be lucky if I remember to wear green on St. Patty's Day and my name is Green. St. Paddy's day is also my dad's birthday and Steve's Goddaughter's birthday - perhaps with this as a reminder - we will get their birthday wishes out on time this year. Let's not hold our breath people.

In other news: ASHER IS WEARING BIG BOY UNDERPANTS. Last week, his teacher told me he was ready which both elated and saddened me at the same time. Elated because I'm just about over cleaning poopy pants. Sad - because my boy is growing up and no matter how desperately I try - I cannot keep it from happening. So, today is day 3 in big boy underpants. He has not had any daytime accidents and we are 50/50 on nighttime so far. I figured there would be some occasional overnight issues - so I threw a pull-up over the undies and saved Steve the mess of cleaning 752 stuffed animals from a urine bath. (Did I say Steve, oh, I meant me - well not really...maybe we would have paper/rock/scissored for it.) In any case...Asher is now proudly showing off Cars, Toy Story and Phineas and Ferb big boy underpants. He is rather ambivalent - but truly we are thrilled.
